The Real Thing - Happy Hammers


I watched the game today and was pleased for the Hammers and their fans. Sorry Martin, I have feeling Preston will be stronger for the experience next season. Did you go?

Alan Pardew was quoted as saying that he will spend the summer "signing players." It will be interesting to see how much money he is given by the much maligned Hammers board.

Apart from a header that was cleared off the line by Shaun Newton, West Ham always looked the more dangerous and after 2 years the incredibly under pressure Alan Pardew has led the Irons back to the big time. Happy Hammers indeed (probably not work friendly!).

Sheffield Wednesday are also back in the big time after defeating plucky Hartlepool 4-2 in extra time. The Owls fans have had 10 years of misery, they were one of the leading lights in the early days of the Premiership - 3 cup finals and once finishing 3rd. They had 41,000 fans in Cardiff and Paul Sturrock put a smile on their faces.

And Sarfend made it a great Cardiff weekend for Essex as they made it to League One by beating Lincoln 2-0 on Saturday. Congratulations to the Shrimpers.
